Electrician
Canterbury 3126
Maling Road's row of period shopfronts sums up Canterbury well. The streets around it hold some of the area's grandest Federation and Edwardian houses, and the wiring inside them is often far older than it looks.

Canterbury homes
Electrical work
in Canterbury.
Canterbury is known for large Federation, Edwardian and Arts and Crafts homes on generous blocks, many with original features such as pressed metal ceilings, leadlight and decorative cornices. There are interwar houses throughout as well, and fewer apartments than in nearby suburbs. Many of these homes have been renovated more than once, so we often find several generations of wiring in the one house, from older cable in the roof to modern circuits in the extension. High ceilings and ornate plaster make new lighting and cabling slower work that needs a careful hand. Much of the suburb sits under heritage overlays, so we keep visible external work discreet and in keeping with the period character.

Switchboards
“Steve and Jason installed several new downlights and powerpoints in my apartment, as well as installing a bathroom fan and doing a general switchboard check. The work was done very fast and to high quality. Steve had great ideas on how to improve the lighting and ventilation in my apartment in a cost effective manner. Steve's input really improved the look of my bathroom in particular, it almost looks like a new room!”

Can you rewire our Canterbury Federation home without wrecking the cornices and ceiling roses?
Yes, with care and planning. We work from the roof space and subfloor wherever possible and fish cables down wall cavities rather than cutting into decorative plaster. Where access is genuinely blocked, we talk the options through with you first so there are no surprises.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Quotes are free with no obligation.
What guarantee do I get?
A 12-month workmanship guarantee on every job, plus 2–5 year manufacturer warranties depending on the product.
Do you repair appliances?
No. We install new appliances but don't repair faulty ones.
